Control variables. Same volume of water. Cylinders cut to same size to ensure same surface area in contact with water. Also cut from same beetroot.

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

@stranger things the results beer to be comparable. Tissue from different beetroots may contain varying amounts of the red pigment so give different results. We need to coloured water pouring/decanting into colorimeter cuvettes.

[@Sam_n9]

this is the only video i've found that has explained the practical clearly and precisely 👏🏽 thank you so much!!

[@khansaiqbal7945]

Great video - very clear explanations. I just want to point out that for the new OCR Biology A H032 specification, the plots mustn't be joined up on the graph like in the video, although they had to be for the old specification. As there is a general trend, a smooth line/curve of best fit should be drawn through.

[@BatMAN-wc4eb]

This is incredible for revision of the practicals, extremely clear and concise thank you very much!

[@ranjanabunkar1860]

Ur way of explanation is mind blowing and ur voice is also amazing thanks for this video

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

Cork borers are available from all scientific and educational suppliers. A chipper can be used instead as the y don't have to be cylindrical. Or just cut similar chips with a knife.

[@kpurkayastha2569]

The pigment is actually Betalain, but great video! I will be using this with my class :)

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

Thanks for your comment. I use these little videos quite a lot with my classes. Before they do the practical lesson and for revision. Your correct about the pigment.

[@debitoshcreation5383]

Yes ,betalain especially betacyanin

Very clear explanation! I use the video to support my teaching. Thanks for the effort.

Greatly informative video overall, however one small inaccuracy as the chemical source of the pigment is actually Betalain .

What are the standardized variable in this experiment? And why beetroot and not a carrot ?

just wondering how the ralationship between absorbance measured by colorimeter and colour intensity of the solution??

This is a great video. Thanks. Are there any limitations of this procedure?

[@mariam8614]

Why is it important to leave the beetroots in the test tubes submerged in the respective water bath for 20 minutes? (i.e. why not longer or shorter?)

[@storiesbox3721]

What is the benefit?

[@proddream3845]

why does the beet have to be in the water for 20 min?

i was advised to ise red cabbageinsteadecause beetroot was used by another student. would that work the same?

It may work. I have never tried it. Good luck with that.

What is the principle of this test

[@dimitrimilas4170]

Does it matter what colour the colorimeter is set to, and if so, why?

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

Most colours would work to an extent but green works best. Avoid red and blue as they are reflected by the purple pigment.

No real risks with the beetroot practical except use of a knife or scalpel to cut the cylinders.

[@humanitySL]

Why green light?

[@elsaritchie7949]

Just for the absorbance of light in the beetroot liquid solution, but in my practical we used blue light. I don't really think it matters too much as long as it is the opposite colour as the beetroot solution (i.e. it's red so blue or green colours are opposite on the colour wheel

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

Laila Yaqoobi membrane proteins will be denatured by Ph much above or below 7 so the membrane will fall apart and become much more permeable.

[@Assassin-pg5gb]

very useful thanks

[@VonexCS]

why do you keep the beetroot in water?

[@elsaritchie7949]

you're testing the permeability of the cell membrane of beetroot at varied temperatures, which therefore means that at different temperatures more or less pigment will move through the beetroot and 'leaks' out into the water in the boiling tube (i.e. at higher temperatures, more beetroot pigment is leaked out) at a set amount of time - say 10 minutes for all temperatures. You must decanter the beetroot solution into another boiling tube quickly to prevent further leakage that would disrupt the results. This solution is used to test the absorbance of light - depending on the concentration of the pigment leaked out, the light absorbed will be more or less, and you cannot just use qualitative data, i.e. just by looking at the concentration to determine the results. The colourimeter checks the absorbance of light in the liquid of the beetroot solution which gives quantitative data.

[@proxper513]

hello

[@tehminabibi5263]

Can u give error in the experiment

[@elsaritchie7949]

The betalain comes from the vacuole within the cells of the beetroot which also has a membrane surrounding it, and therefore the betalain has to pass through two membranes to move into the water in the boiling tube. It therefore doesn't really just show the permeability of the cell surface membrane as it also shows the permeability of the vacuole.

Why do we use green light

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

The red blue pigment will absorb green light well. It would reflect red or blue light.

[@biologypracticalsandrevisi8066]

You could use yellow but green works best.
